Royalty Contract Reviews

Identify unpaid royalties and manage royalty streams through a thorough royalty contract review.

Signing a royalty agreement is usually a welcome event. But after time, doubt can creep in. Are you actually receiving the money that's due you? How much should be coming in, and why are the checks arriving late or getting smaller?

Our professionals will conduct a royalty review to determine whether you are being underpaid, and, if so, what the cause is-clerical error, misinterpretation of the license agreement language, intentional understatement or another reason. We can also assist you in implementing a compliance monitoring program with "red flags" to notify you when there's a substantial deviation.

The potential rewards can be great
In the past 10 years, we've used a tailored review process to help licensors of intellectual property, copyrights or trademarks identify millions of dollars in unpaid royalties. We've reviewed royalties on everything from software to barbeque sauce and stem cell technology. Typically, the rewards exceed the review costs, and, in many cases, the burden of the review cost can be shifted to the licensee.

Conducting a royalty review is simply good business practice. With years of experience and resources worldwide, why go anywhere else? Call McGladrey.
